| Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains the best
estimates of the total ion density from Voyager 2 at Jupiter in the PLS
voltage range (10-5950 eV/Q). It is calculated using the method of
which to first order consists of taking the total measured current and
dividing by the collector area and plasma bulk velocity. This method is
only accurate for high mach number flows directly into the detector, and
may result in underestimates of the total density of a factor of 2 in the
outer magnetosphere. Thus absolute densities should be treated with
caution, but density variations in the data set can be trusted. The low
resolution mode density is used at all times except day 190 2100-2200 when
the larger of the high and low resolution mode densities in a 96 sec
period is used. Corotation is assumed inside L=17.5, and a constant
velocity component of 200 km/s into the D cup is used outside of this.
Data format: column 1 is time (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ), column 2 is
the moment density in cm^-3. Each row has format (a24, 1x, 1pe9.2). Values
of -9.99e+10 indicate that the parameter could not be obtained from the
data using the standard analysis technique. Additional information about
this data set and the instrument which produced it can be found elsewhere
in this catalog. |
